Caroline
Large New York style loft
Bronx, NY, United States
$120/night
Summary
Space
Large open loft space, sun filled with high ceilings and hardwood floors. The clock tower building was an old piano factory so its really beautiful and very true New York loft-style living. There is a fab roofdeck and gym and laundry in the building. The area of South Bronx itself is very quiet, without a lot of people, which I've always found to be nice after long day amongst the hustle and bustle of New York. You are moments away from Harlem, filled with late night jazz, southern style restaurants, very cool street markets on weekends, and the north side of central park...you can walk there over the bridge. I travel each day to downtown Manhattan via the 4/5/6 train and it takes about 15-20 mins to get to Union Square.... never are the trains a problem (occasionally on a Sunday), and the station is a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Despite the reputation of the neighborhood it is super safe and chill, and I think extremely up and coming as consistently more and more creatives move

Absolutely great! Caroline was a super nice host. I loved the style of the apartment and the area. Thank you Caroline, I hope I get to stay soon with you again. I definitely wouldn't choose any other place.
Jun 27, 2019We had such a great time in NYC, and Carolines apartment in Bronx made the stay even better. It was so much space, and we slept superwell in her king size bed. The apartment felt even bigger than in the pictures, and it smelled really good when we came. Caroline had left a book full of information about the apartment and the naighborhood and NYC in general, so we felt really welcome and safe. The neighborhood felt safe, and the bar Charlies in the same building as the aparment was really nice. It was only a couple of minutes walk from our door to the subway, wich we used every day.
Jun 27, 2019I arrived as scheduled, except on MY end I had made a mistake but none the less I showed up late and she was more than willing to accommodate my tardiness . Everything was perfect .. Nice , clean, spacious, couldn't of asked for more . Would stay here again. She was more than helpful and gave my girlfriend and I complete privacy . Real good location right upstairs from a bar (Charlie's) Charlie is a cool person as well
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's place is really nice. We totally enjoyed our stay here. Everything was clean too ;) Charlie's (the bar on the ground floor) is also a beer worth ;) We can just recommend you to message Caroline and book her apartment for your next New York trip!
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's apartment is great! We really enjoyed our stay - It was so nice to have such a lovely place to come home to. The apartment was also nice and warm and the bed was super comfy. The location was great (so easy and fast to get around NY) and we loved exploring nearby. Charlie's is definitely worth a visit, as is the sushi/Japanese place round the corner. I would definitely stay here again!!
Jun 27, 2019Séjour très agréable, quartier post industriel, mais vraiment tout près de NY par le métro. L'appartement est grand, fonctionnel, lumineux. A recommander.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline left a little book with details about the area ( how to get to the train and grocery store) The place looks just as it does in the photographs and was nice and tidy, the bed was like a cloud! The area is super close to Harlem, so that's fun, just a short walk over the bridge. Would go back to enjoy the rooftop in the summer!
Jun 27, 2019Great space and Caroline was easy to reach so anything that could have been a concern was resolved quickly and with no fuss. Great apartment and great host - would definitely stay again.
Jun 27, 2019We had a perfect time in sobro and in Caroline's loft:-) Our kids loved the place as much as we did! Everything was clean, comfy and the room was huge- enough space for all of us! Although we have to girls (9 and 4 years) we walked almost every day over the bridge trough Harlem and down town- and often back!it was great to explore the neighborhood and especially Harlem! Caroline was helpful and easy to reach! We appreciated the washing machine and the gym:) We would definitely come back:)
Jun 27, 2019We had a wonderful time in this appartment. The appartment is spacious and the furniture is comfortable. It is located in a kind neighborhood with a nice bar/restaurant directly in the house. The subway connection to Manhattan is also very good, making it easy for visitors. Thank you very much, Caroline!
Jun 27, 2019Everything was as expected or better! Me and my 14 year old daughter had a great time and after long days of exploring NYC it felt like coming home into Carolines appartment. It's set in an authentic, uninque area with where we always felt safe and also had a day of walk into and through Harlem. With the 138 Street subway station just mins of walking away it's really easy and fast to get anywhere in Manhattan. We loved it and shall be back and Carolines appartment would be no 1 choice. Thanks Caroline
Jun 27, 2019We had such a wonderful experience at Caroline's loft, it looks Just as it appears in the pictures spacious, comfy and it feels just as if your coming home when you walk into the loft. The commute to Manhattan was super fast from the location. The roof top is also very beautiful, There is really nothing more to ask for. This will definitely be my first choice when I go back to NY. Thank you Caroline ! :)
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's apartment is a great place to stay while visiting New York! Me and my girlfriend were lucky enough to stay there for a week and we had a great time! The apartment is really nice & spacious, Caroline left a notepad with lots of helpful information about the area and was always available should we have needed to get in contact. There is a subway station just down the road which you can walk to in 3-4 minutes and from there you can take the 6 train right into downtown Manhattan in no time :) There is also a grocery store really close by and the neighbours were always really friendly!
Jun 27, 2019This apartment was the perfect place for me to spend a week in New York. I had privacy and space, it was furnished stylishly and the rooftop in June was a great escape. Mott Haven has definite character, and I felt both close enough and far enough away from Manhattan to have a good time. Charlie's downstairs was a gem of a restaurant and bar. Caroline was a very conscientious host. That welcome/guide book was a lifesaver! I'd come back here for sure.
Jul 27, 2019Awesome Apartment!
Jun 27, 2019al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato un quaderno con tutte le indicazioni lasciato da Caroline, il posto era esattamente come in foto, per chiarimenti abbiamo potuto contattare direttamente la host via telefono. Posto tranquillo, vicini molto cordiali, roof garden fantastico! soggiorno perfetto per vivere a NY!
Jun 27, 2019This was the best accommodation we had in NYC... Far better than staying in the city! This apartment felt like a home away from home! The bar downstairs was very convenient and everyone was very friendly/helpful!! The subway was super close and easy to get to!! Caroline is a 10/10 host; her welcome book was very helpful!!
Jun 27, 2019Very much enjoyed our stay here. The place was nice and clean and close to the 6 subway which is a great line to use. Only down side was having no curtains and the sun rising at 5.30am - but nothing a sleeping mask couldn't fix!
Jun 27, 2019What a great place to stay! When we opened the door to Caroline's loft we felt at home right away - it's like staying with a friend! You walk in and the atmosphere and spirit of both building and especially the apartment gives you the feeling of being right where you are. We enjoyed that every time we came 'home' after a long day exploring Manhattan....The furnishing, the colors, the decor....everything turns out like in the pictures and is all well kept, individual, comfortable (best sleep!) and clean. We also loved the gym, the rooftop, the washer and dryer! and found it extremely easy and fast to get around to Harlem with the bus across the street or the express 4 or 5 line to Midtown Manhattan. The neighborhood is laid back, safe and everybody is helpful and friendly. Unfortunately we never got the chance to meet Caroline in person due to the fact that she was abroad, but the contact was at all times quick, easy and very relaxed. Thanks for the notebook with neighborhood informations and for giving us the pleasure to stay at your unique home, Caroline! We'll be glad to come back some day! Nadine, Hans and Leander
Jun 27, 2019Leider gab es bei unserer Ankunft Probleme mit der Reinigung, das schmutzige Bettzeug des Vormieters war im Appartement und die Betten waren nicht neu bezogen. Auch war das Appartement nicht wirklich gut geputzt. Caroline befand sich im Ausland und hat trotzdem versucht zu helfen und auch 50% der Reinigungskosten sofort refundiert. Wir haben dann alles selber gewaschen und bezogen, was etwas Zeitaufwendig war. Das Appartement liegt in den Bronx, wie beschrieben und es ist sicher einzigartig. Von den wichtigen New Yorker Sehenswürdigkeiten ist es dennoch zu weit entfernt, mindestens 1 Stunde Anfahrtszeit mit der U-Bahn. Wenn man einen anderen Schwerpunkt hat bei seinem New York Besuch ist es sicher eine gute Alternative.
Jun 27, 2019We loved Caroline's place. Her loft looks exactly like the photos; airy, spacious, and bright. It was the perfect place to come home to after a busy day in Manhattan. Port Morris is quiet so we slept sound at night, with only the occasional car driving by on the street below. The restaurant / bar below and the subway stop a few minutes away was a plus! We never met Caroline but she was excellent in responding to our questions and providing information about the apartment, the neighborhood, and NYC in general. I would definitely recommend staying at Caroline's!
Jun 27, 2019We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Clock Tower, chez Caroline. It was great to have a temporary home outside Manhattan so that after hectic days amongst the crowds, skyscrapers and endless activities we could escape on the excellent subway to a quiet comfortable spot. The rooftop garden is a gem for tai chi and relaxation and we would certainly recommend the Loft. Although we didn't get to meet Caroline she left information re the building and activities. Thanks Tessa and Jack.
Jun 27, 2019Our stay at the loft was everything we wanted! The flat itself is exactly as it is on the images, spacious, quirky and clean. There is lots of light coming into the flat, with air con if needed and quiet at night. There is a lift upto the flat so don't worry if you have lots of luggage. The rooftop garden is absolutely wonderful, though it is locked from around 10:30pm - 8:30am. Being in South Bronx, we heard it might be a little sketchy at night but we honestly never felt or saw anything intimidating atall, the flat is on a main street pretty much around the corner from the subway stop which connects you into the city centre and other areas with no hassle atall. Even when we got our leaving date wrong (oops) Caroline was very understanding and allowed us a little while extra over our checking out time to get ready to leave! Overall, a perfect place to stay!
Jun 27, 2019I stayed at Caroline's place with 2 of my friends, and we had a pretty good time there. The loft is pretty nice, it was really clean and had everything we needed. We knew there was only one bed but the sofa is so confortable that we woke up everyday ready and rested for another maratonic day at NYC. We really liked staying here. Subway and bus lines are close, a restaurant, a bar, groceries shop, everything was close too. And Caroline has a welcome/tips book pretty informative and helpful. The subway stations that are close, will take you all the way through Manhattan, as a tourist, I loved this. And Caroline was also available for every question we had, which was nice.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline is a nice landlord. Although she was at oversea but still can help us solve the problems . We really have a good time there!
Jun 27, 2019Apartment is exactly as displayed. Caroline was very helpful. Location is easy to reach with the metro. Would stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline was extremely helpful and flexible. We had a late flight home and she allowed us to stay in the flat until we had to leave for the airport. She responed to all my questions promptly. The description to the flat is 100% accurate - clean and big. The neighbourhood is extremely friendly, people often give way to our buggy in the street. The restaurant downstairs(Charles) is very good too. We had a meal there and they were very accomodating with my 2 year old singing loudly during our meal. The 4/5 express train is very close by and we were in downtown in no time!
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's apartment is incredible - comfortable, uber cool and well located - perfect for an authentic South Bronx experience and equally good as a jumping off point to explore NY City. Communication with Caroline was easy; at all times she was super responsive, informative and friendly. Guests will also find a notebook in the apartment complete with every detail needed to make their stay as perfect as it can be. I would definitely stay here again. A really easy and positive experience. Thank you!
Jul 27, 2019Caroline's house was clean and spacious. One thing we found uncomfortable was that the house did not have curtains and was really bright in most times. Her house had basic cookery so we could cook in the house. I and my friend usually drove in the city and did not have chance to take the metro. But my friend said that it was directly connected to major sites such as Union Square. Neighborhood was not intimidating and bar downstair was great! (Try Bronx Pale Ale!). Thank Caroline for letting us to stay in your house!
Jun 27, 2019While I never met Caroline, she was very friendly through messages and willing to give advice on things both in central New York City and further afield at Long Island. Though I couldn't take advantage of some of the tips, I've kept them noted for my next visit. The flat was amazing and just like the pictures (with the addition of a nice curtain between windows and bed to help separate the room). A great touch was the wee welcome book - full of little useful details like local supermarkets, nearby recommended events, nearby takeaways - together with a selection of tourist guides and a subway map. Heating and fans are available if you need them, and the heater definitely works fine (although due to the milder weather at the end of the week, wasn't needed that much!) The neighbourhood was absolutely fine to stay in - the Bronx has a reputation but it never felt unsafe or unwelcoming during my time there. The only trouble I had was on the High Line in central Manhattan! It's only a few minutes walk from the regular 4/5 and 6 subway lines which both take you directly down east Manhattan, past Grand Central Terminal and on to Brooklyn, so it's ideally located for getting about NYC. Great stay!
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed our stay at Caroline's apartment. The apartment was clean and spacious, looked exactly like the photos. Everything was great. The location was convenient, only few blocks away from the metro. Even though we did not meet Caroline, she could be easily reached by message. She also left a useful guide about the apartment and travelling in New York for us. We went to the restaurant she recommended (red rooster) and it was really good.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline is a good host - always replied to my emails even if some of it was more travel questions than accommodation enquiries. The loft looked exactly like the pictures although most of the plants are dying - maybe she has been away for a while. The location was very wrong for us - but that is our own fault. I think it is early days for the Bronx as it is just to far away from the buzz of the city. We did not feel save after 7 o'clock. We witnessed a shooting at the subway station and another 4 police activities at our front door. I travelled with my 18 year old daughter and she did not enjoy the location. We booked out earlier and moved to a hotel in the city - I already alarmed Caroline on day one that we want to move out but she could not give me any refund which is strange compared to hotel policies but she did state a strict cancellation policy on her profile. The bridge in front of loft creates constant noise 24/7.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Caroline's. If space is what you want, and space is rare in NYC, then her loft is perfect! Caroline's place is clean, her bed is extremely comfortable. It's noisy at night however this is unavoidable in NYC. There is a washer and dryer available as well as a gym and a gorgeous rooftop! It was an easy walk to the 6 subway just a few blocks away. We felt safe at all times of the day and night. On our last day we Caroline gave us the option to check-out later in the afternoon which was greatly appreciated!
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's loft was just as advertised: bright, clean, and spacious. A quiet building with a convenient laundry on the same floor and a gym just below--and only three blocks to the subway--made for a charming week in NY. Thanks, Caroline.
Jun 27, 2019L'appartement de Caroline a beaucoup de charme et est aussi joli que sur les photos. A cause du mauvais temps nous n'avons pas pu profiter de la magnifique terrasse sur le toit de l'immeuble. Caroline nous a accueilli dès notre arrivée et nous a donné toutes les infos que nous souhaitions. Pour ceux qui ont le sommeil léger, le quartier est très bruyant. Mais existe-t-il un endroit calme à New York?...;) le métro est très proche et permet d'aller rapidement en plein centre de Manhattan
Jun 27, 2019Cool spacious loft. It was our first time in NY, so the location can be a bit daunting and intimidating - but once you get used to the subway system, you soon realize that it is completely fine. Caroline was super considerate and made sure our checkin and stay was as comfortable as possible- thank you so much!
Jun 27, 2019We genuinely loved staying here. We had never done the Airbnb thing so, honestly, we were a little nervous. But, it felt like we hit the jackpot. We loved Caroline's place. It's was just as described. Very cool. Very fun to be in. We loved being in a neighborhood that was a good taste of every day NYC. Caroline did a great job of making things easy. She responded quickly to questions. Kept a great and patient attitude even when I'm sure the questions felt dumb ;) Minor negative is unrelated to Caroline or the loft. The rooftop was GREAT - but not accessible early mornings or late night (open from 8 to 10:30). Wish I could have used it more.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's loft was great! It was extremely close to a subway stop, a deli, restaurants and a Chase bank. There's even a restaurant conveniently located on the first floor of the building. We went there for live music at night and brunch on the weekends. The building also has a gym and a lovely roof patio/terrace to enjoy the weather. Caroline was very responsive to messages and easy to get ahold of. We would definitely stay with her again.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's Loft was great. The rooftop was as described. I would definitely rent again!
Jun 27, 2019Everything was great
Jun 27, 2019El Loft está muy bien, Caroline es muy atenta y la Terraza está buena xa tirarse un rato. sin duda volvería. lo único es que te entrega un sólo juego de llaves y seguirá práctico tener por lo menos dos. está un poco lejos pero en metro llegas en 30 min (o en bici en 1 hora)
Jun 27, 2019Wir hatten eine super Zeit in Carolines Loft. Der Dachgarten war ein Traum, dort wachsen Tomaten und Erdbeeren und es gibt eine Hängematte. Abends treffen sich dort die Hausbewohner zum schnacken und auf ein Getränk oder zum Abendessen. Eine Oase in mitten der troubeligen Stadt.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's place is beautiful! She really knows how to decorate a place. I loved the open layout. She doesn't have too much furniture around, but it makes it feel really spacious. Since this was my first trip to NY, I thought for sure parking would be a problem, but that wasn't the case at all. She was easy to communicate with, and I really have no serious complaints. It was a great stay. The only things were the wifi was a bit slow and the area was a little sketch. You definitely don't want to be walking around the Bronx after the sun goes down it seems. It wasn't really a big deal though since we were able to park so close. Overall, I loved this place I would totally recommend it!
Jun 27, 2019Great comfortable place next to a nice brunch spot. Caroline was very accommodating and friendly. Would 100% use again and recommend to anyone.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline was always available when we had a question and was easy to reach to. The loft is well kept with vintage seating and a comfortable couch, interesting artwork, lot of plants and books to read. The roof is a nice place to hang in the evening. Even though its a studio its large and the space is very tastefully done and we actually extended our stay!
Jun 27, 2019Ein schönes und authentisches Loft in der Bronx. Die Wohnung und die Dachtetrrasse waren toll. Caroline war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für einen kurzen New York Trip würden wir nächstes Mal aber eine Unterkunft in Manhattan suchen.
Jun 27, 2019El loft es super confortable, nos gustó mucho!!! Todo esta muy limpio y tiene todo lo que necesitas para sentir que llegas a tu casa despues de tanto caminar! Increible! Caroline es super accesible y responde muy rapido! like like like!
Jun 27, 2019We loved the large space and the minimalist look, however, one might feel uncomfortable getting naked as it seems like people in the bldg nearby can see in. This did not bother us at all. Neighborhood didn't feel as safe as we were told. We loved having a cool place to eat downstairs and loved having a glass of wine on the rooftop! If you have a car, parking is a challenge but doable and we were glad we had one for this area. Communicating with Caroline was easy.
Jun 27, 2019Die Wohnung mit einzigartigen Flair, jedoch für sehr verständnisvolle Gäste was die Details betrifft, die beim längeren Aufenthalt keine Details mehr sind.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent loft. Beautiful deck. Outside of the city, but reachable in 15 minutes. The neighborhood is perfectly fine, very friendly. Missing: curtains. The bed might be to soft for some. We had an amazing time.
Jun 27, 2019The room is spacious and location is really near to subway which is really convenient for go sightseeing to Manhattan. Very pretty room and like it.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline's loft is a spacious apartment and very convenient to the subway lines, eg to get to Manhattan and the tourist spots which we frequented. We had a wonderful week staying here. It does get noisy even at night but that is to be expected of NYC. Caroline is a responsive and accommodating host, thank you!
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful apartment and Caroline was really helpful with my logistics!
Jun 27, 2019A Phenomenal place to stay.
Jun 27, 2019The Loft was super comfy and there were trinkets from all of Carolines visits displayed. She suggested we go to Sylvia's for brunch on Sunday and it did not disappoint. There's also a cute little bar downstairs with really good and affordable food choices. I would definitely recommend this spot.
Jul 27, 2019The location was nice and close to Manhattan but just far enough away to avoid the main hustle and bustle. It was a light bright apartment with all the essentials. Caroline was very helpful and replied promptly to my messages. Her notebook with instructions/suggestions were also a big help.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is artistically decorated and is a nice, big, lofty space. We wouldn't rush to stay in the Bronx again though. Although it is near th subway, which is really important, the area itself isn't particularly inviting and felt quite unfriendly after dark. It is also relentlessly noisy, which can make it difficult to get a good nights sleep. The apartment itself is great. The location, not so sure.
Jun 27, 2019We enjoyed our stay at Caroline's place. It's spacious and stylish and easy to get to the city!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful apartment. Having a gym in the building was very convenient (good size too). Neighborhood was nice and the Subway station was within walking distance. No issues walking at night from the subway station to the apartment. The subway made it very easy to travel around the city.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline was a very welcoming host and pretty prompt at responding to messages considering she was in Australia at the time of our visit. Her "welcome" book was helpful for getting the wifi password, finding a place or two to eat, knowing checkout procedures, and so on. The apartment itself was very nice for the price, and was clean, comfortable, and very spacious for a studio apartment. Keep in mind that there is no kitchen table so be prepared to eat your breakfasts at the counter standing up or on the couch, etc. The kitchen had the basic necessities of dishes, silverware, very basic cooking utensils, skillet, pots/pans, cutting board, knives, dish soap, sponges, and kitchen towels. The bed was very soft and comfortable and can be slid around a bit if desired. The apartment's location in the Bronx was a little less "up and coming" than we had anticipated and was largely industrial with many auto repair shops just across and down the street. It's also right by an on-ramp to a busy road and traffic did add a good bit of noise. The walk to the nearest subway station (the 6 local train at 138th st. and 3rd ave) takes about 8 minutes from the front door of the building but you can transfer to the 4 or 5 express trains at the next station downtown (125th st.) Not many people are walking around on the surrounding streets after 9pm or so. Lucky for us, there was ample back-angled parking right in front of the building and while there is a sign stating that street cleaning occurs Monday and Thursday at lunchtime we did not have to move our car during our weeklong stay. Perhaps with the holidays and snow the street cleaning was behind schedule. We also enjoyed eating at Charlie's Bar and Restaurant in the bottom of the building. We recommend the burger and fries (ask for them crispy). Best fries I've had in a long time! Overall, we found Caroline's place a good and affordable option for visiting the city. We spent the majority of our time in Manhattan but did explore as far south as the Statue of Liberty and as far north as Washington Heights and Fort Tryon Parks. Caroline's is a nice apartment to come back to at the end of a long day of walking and just relax, read a book, and recharge for the next day of adventures.
Jun 27, 2019Great place! My wife and I enjoyed our trip in NYC. We had been worried about the security issue in Bronx before we met the people in the neighbourhood. They were welcoming and nice, and helped us a lot. We enjoyed talking with local people there, exchanging many new ideas. One reminder, not a problem to us though, is the room faces the main road and near the bridge, so it may be a bit noisy at night for ones who are sensitive to sound.
Jun 27, 2019The place is very nice, cozy and comfortable. Close to subway station and bus stops. It´s also easy to go by taxi. There´s also a nice place to eat and a good supermarket.
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay at Caroline's apartment. It was very conveniently located on major subway lines making it very easy to get to Downtown Manhattan. It's also a short walk across the bridge from Harlem where you can find lots of places to eat a Soul Food breakfast. Her apartment was warm & welcoming when we checked-in. Bed was incredibly comfortable and her abode is quirkily decorated! Charlie's bar downstairs is great for getting fed, watered and entertained by the local talent. The gym was really handy too although it has a heavily sloped floor which might be something to consider if you are an athlete hoping to train while you're in NYC. Caroline was incredibly responsive and helpful to any questions we had during our stay. I definitely recommend her pad as a place to rest while you experience New York!
Jul 27, 2019Lovely place but a bit far away from Manhattan
Jun 27, 2019Caroline was fantastic with communication. It was easy to checkin and checkout. The place wasn't within walking distance of anything lively or happening. But it was a cozy place with super cute furnishing.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline s'est montrée trés disponible, photos conformes au logement. Petit bémol: le bruit de certaines voitures la nuit, la présence de rideaux aurait été plus agréable.
Jun 27, 2019Good place to stay.
Jun 27, 2019This is a beautiful flat with plenty of space and big windows. The bed is an amazing reward after a long day. You feel secure being on the Third floor. The other people staying in the building are all very polite and friendly. Charlies diner on the ground floor is impressive (get the chicken benny). The flat has adequate kitchen facilities for those who decide to cook and the shower and heating are good. The walk to the public subway is short, but not particularly inviting for someone on their own at night. Caroline's flat promises for a truly special New York experience.
Jun 27, 2019We had a nice stay here.
Jun 27, 2019This is a fantastic place with clear evidence of Caroline's' good taste. The decorations include a wide variety of interesting gadgets from all around the world and the place is really an artistic one. Like it tons :D
Jul 27, 2019proche des transports; quartier ou nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité malgré ce qu'on peut en lire. logement agréable .
Jun 27, 2019We really can recommend this stylish apt , it's located next to 2 subway stations,grocery and bakery also 10 min To go. Rooftop garden ,gym room , Charlies kitchen ..very convenient. With subway 1/2 an hour downtown, that's good. I liked the style of the apt very much ,basically and individually furnished ...people in the house very kindly,...we could contact Caroline per mail and got an answer quickly,that was very helpful in some situations .. we felt us coached very good , that makes it easy to feel welcome in such a big city . SUPER!!!!!! And Thank You Caro
Jun 27, 2019Caroline i a perfect host, the appartment is exactly as it is shown in the photos. It is cosy, spasious and very beautifully decorated by Caroline! We also enjoyed very much the roof (Website hidden by Airbnb) was a perfect stay, thank you so much!
Jun 27, 2019Nice and spaceous appartment with a great rooftop terrace, cozy bar in the ground floor of the building and generally a good vibe in the building. The neighborhood felt safe, and subway stations and supermarked are within walking distance. A bit of traffic noise, but nothing to disturbing. Caroline was a great host, communication was easy and check-in flexible
Jun 27, 2019Das Loft ist sehr mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen. Das Gebäude an sich war sehr schön und auch leicht zu finden. Alles hat sehr gut geklappt. Die Kommunikation mit Caroline war sehr gut und unkompliziert, mit der Reinigung vorab hatte auch alles wunderbar funktioniert. Das Loft ist eher für einen längeren Aufenthalt gedacht, so wie bei uns, da die Fahrt nach Manhattan schon mind. 20 bis 30 Minuten braucht. Ansonsten ist die Unterkunft sowohl von der Lage , der Ausstattung und auch preislich sehr zu empfehlen. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. :-) Gerne wieder!
Jun 27, 2019Caroline is such an awesome host. Her place is huge, for New York, and it is conveniently located to public transportation. I love how flexible she is, and that she was quick to respond to any questions I had. Her place is definitely very artsy, and filled with soul. Thank you Caroline!
Jun 27, 2019The loft is just as pictured, beautiful and airy. Located a short walk to the subway which is just one stop over from Manhattan. It was a good mini escape from the hustle and bustle of NYC
Jun 27, 2019Communication with Caroline was good, Bar and kitchen upstairs were very good, the area is not so dangerous like its looks like, 7 min to metro station. Normal neighborhood in the building. Well equipped gym.
Jun 27, 2019La casa mi è piaciuta molto, rispecchia le foto pubblicate da Caroline, anche se dal vivo non è così grande da come ci si aspetta dalle foto. Non è presente un tavolo con delle sedie per mangiare e l'armadio (c'è soltanto uno stendino dove appoggiare le cose da appendere e una cassettiera mezza rotta). C'è un tavolino (diciamo da caffè) di fronte al divano che usavamo per mangiare ma è un po' scomodo. Passa la linea verde della metro in particolare la 6 e la fermata è abbastanza comodo a casa (circa 5 minuti a piedi), oppure passa la 4 o 5 sempre della linea verde a circa 10/15 minuti a piedi dalla casa. Il wifi non funziona molto, spesso si scollega e non si riesce più a connettersi per un bel po' di tempo, infatti non è il wifi di casa ma è il wifi del ristorante / pub al primo piano dell'edificio e ovviamente non prende bene che come averlo in casa. Dalla strada, durante la notte, c'è un gran rumore in quanto si trova vicino al collegamento fra Bronx e Manhattan; passano molti camion e auto che si sentono benissimo dalla casa e ti svegliano durante la notte anche perchè le finestre non insonorizzano molto la casa. é indicata per tre persone ma in realtà è al massimo per due; sono andata in gruppo con altre due persone e io ho dovuto dormire sul divano per tutta la durata dell'alloggio. C'è da dire però che è rifornita di lenzuola e il divano è comodo per dormirci. Caroline offre anche molti asciugamani. La cucina è ben rifornita di tutti gli attrezzi utili e anche il bagno. Caroline è stata molto disponibile e gentile a spiegarci eventuali cose che non ci erano chiaro della zona e della casa.
Jun 27, 2019Der Kontakt zu Caroline war unkompliziert. Alle Fragen wurden umgehend geklärt. Aus- und aus checken der Unterkunft war ebenfalls unkompliziert. Das Loft war großzügig und sauber. Das der Fitnessraum und die wundervolle Dachterrasse mitbenutzt werden konnte, war großartig und haben wir auch ausgiebig getan. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und die Unterkunft jedem empfehlen. Vielen lieben Dank für die unvergessliche Zeit.
Jul 27, 2019Caroline's airy loft is just as described. It is bright with street noise, so as she says - it may not be for you if dark and quiet is required for sleep. There was some major construction going on across the street and they started pretty early with significant loud dump truck banging. We stayed in the city until pretty late most nights, getting back around midnight. The building and neighborhood were quiet. We used Metro at all hours and never felt unsafe. It is a quick walk to catch the 6 and you can connect to anywhere you need. Yes, South Bronx is an underprivileged and underserved area so there is more litter and less attention given to the neighborhood maintenance. This neighborhood seems to be changing - new housing being built and an increase in neighborhood stores/shops. An up and coming area with lots to explore.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is beautifully styled and you get some gorgeous light in the evenings from the sunset! Very clean and open planned, Carolines apartment made our stay a comfortable one and we felt at home right away. The residents in the building are also super nice! There's a new coffee shop that has opened around the corner from the Clock Tower, they do amazing iced teas, coffee and pastries - I'd highly recommend! The subway is just a short walk away from the apartment, and will only take you 20 mins to get into Manhattan. We really loved our stay here and we can't wait to come back! Thanks again Caroline, it's been a pleasure! Hannah and Adam, Nottingham UK.
Jun 27, 2019房型非常不错,但是入住时没有洗浴用品,纸巾也只有一点点,我们只能自己去购买｡在沙发上睡了两晚后,身上许多地方被不知道是螨虫还是跳蚤咬的脓包,直到回到国内两周后才治愈｡房子沿街,一直有车子开过,非常吵闹｡
Jun 27, 2019It is exactly as beautiful and spacious as seen in the photos (only better in 3D :)) The bed is very comfortable, The sheets extra soft and lovely, The towels are huge. very clean, well lit (no shatters or curtains - as seen). The AC is fantastic and climate control is perfect. Bring you own toiletries and coffee (fair enough). Ask for directions to use elevator, it's simple when you know how... Communication before arrival was fun. And it is really a half hour and a single metro line to times square - closer than it seems. All in all, highly recomended, and a wonderful place to "play house" in NYC!
Jun 27, 2019O apartamento da Caroline é muito legal (todo estiloso), é confortável e tem tudo o que voce precisa. A Caroline é muito atenciosa, responde rápido a todas as perguntas e te ajuda em tudo o que for possível. Há duas estações de metro proximas ao apartamento e também há pontos de onibus. Indico.
Jun 27, 2019Caroline’s place was super stylish! It was decorated beautifully in every corner and really gave off a New York vibe. Caroline provided us with a welcome book that had everything we needed to know about her apartment along with suggestions about where to eat in the area. She also left all sorts of brochures to various attractions. The neighborhood is fairly safe. It is right outside the bad neighborhood though so don’t wander too far off. The subway is only about a block away which isn’t too bad. The WiFi sucks when you connect to it with your cellphone but works perfectly fine on laptops. We had a lovely stay and we’ll definitely stay here again the next time we come back to New York!
Jun 27, 2019Nice Loft in a beautiful building, friendly neighbors and a restaurant in the house
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation 29 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
